Best Smartphones

Carrying around a cell phone and a PDA is inefficient. Lighten your load by picking up an all-in-one device. Whether you use it as an organizer, an e-mail device, a cell phone, or all of the above, getting a smartphone is a smart move. Here are top five picks for these phone-PDA hybrids.

APPLE iPHONE 4 (Verizon Wireless)
Verizon's iPhone 4 is just as good as the popular AT&T model, if not slightly better. If you've been lusting for an iPhone, but AT&T's network coverage doesn't work for you, the Verizon iPhone will be your savior. 
  • Pros : Beautiful ultra-high-res screen. Thousands of apps. Wi-Fi hotspot mode.
  • Cons : No 4G. Needs a bumper for best reception.


HTC ARRIVE (Sprint) 
The HTC Arrive is a solid Windows Phone 7 for Sprint.
  • Pros : Well built with an excellent physical keyboard. Smooth OS with great games.
  • Cons : No 4G. Many screens don't work in landscape mode. So-so camera. Some audio won't play over Bluetooth headsets.




HTC SENSATION 4G (T-Mobile)
The touch-screen, Android-based HTC Sensation is T-Mobile's biggest and best smartphone yet.
  •  Pros : Big, beautiful, high-res screen. Excellent Web browsing performance. Good-looking, useful Android skin.
  • Cons : 1080p video recording has some glitches. Can't trigger voice dialing over Bluetooth.



SAMSUNG INFUSE 4G (at&t)
The Samsung Infuse 4G is one honking Android phone and a good choice for AT&T subscribers, but you'll still need a different carrier if you want real 4G speeds.
  • Pros : Very thin. Huge, vibrant Super AMOLED Plus screen. Stellar battery life. First truly 4G AT&T phone.
  • Cons : AT&T doesn't yet have a network to back up the phone's speeds. Not the best voice phone. Tall and wide dimensions make it tough to hold.


SAMSUNG GALAXY S II (Unlocked) 
The finest Android smartphone available today, the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II delivers in almost every way. Thing is, it's so expensive, it almost prices itself out of the market.
  • Pros : Fast processor. 4G Internet speeds. Gorgeous screen. Great camera. Latest version of Android.
  • Cons : Very expensive. Some bloatware. Screen resolution isn't cutting-edge. Missing movie store.
